• it's important to practice revision/marking tactics regularly --> students need to become comfortable with the process and feedback
- this might help them learn how to revise on their own better, because they'll learn to think as someone who is reading a piece for the first time and looking for clarity/will be better able to identify their own problem areas
• try different kinds of feedback for students, and vary it regularly
• most students will respond most positively to individualized, one-on-one conferences and writing workshops with peers or a professor
• students want to be heard; they want a voice to be recognized and for someone to help them hone it
• it's very important for students to have independence in their work, some self-efficacy and agency
• suggestions and constructive criticism, paired with explanation of revision in question, help students understand reader's point of view
• get student feedback/create student surveys to see what is actually helped them in terms of revision process
• be aware of (& sensitive to) peer involvement in revision process; some students will not be enthusiastic about public sharing, while others find it more helpful
• sheds light on importance of student input - we should be asking them what they need sometimes, too, and continue to check in
• we have so much more to consider when we simply think about students' perspectives!
